Robin, for a boy

[Giantwaterbottle]

Thoughts on the name Robin please?

Beautiful

Love it!

Ii like it.

Great choice.

Twee and wet

Nice. Can use Rob as a nickname if he likes

Love it for a girl, less so for a boy.

Lovely

Extremely wet. Sorry

Sorry but I'm with Svenalma on this. Politely put, I like stronger names and Robin doesn't fit that brief.

Sorry, I don't associate a man with a tiny robin! Not a dreadful name, but not keen myself. Is it family connection? Could it be a middle name instead? What is it you like about the name? Any others you like?

Not keen for a boy tbh

I keep thinking of Robin Day

I do know 2 female ones and really suits them

Makes me think of Christopher Robin. Cute, I think.

Maybe the OP isn’t constrained by gender stereotypes in the same way you are.

OP, I really like it - much more as a boys’ name than a girls’ name (and isn’t that normally Robyn?).

I like it for a girl

Love it

It's okay - but I'd probably assume hippy/earthy parents or a Winter baby unless it was a cute nn for Robert (which I prefer).

Lovely name for a boy. All the Robins I know are boys/men. And I associate it with names like Robin Hood and Robin Williams.

I've always thought of it as wet and weedy.

I think it's lovely.

Much prefer it as a boy's name than a girl's name.

Love it

All the Robins I've known have been big tough men!

I've known a few women called Robyn, but never seen Robin used for a woman.

Don’t know if it’s a Scottish thing, but I’ve known a few male robins. None teased for the Christopher Robin or Batman connection though (although definitely for the wee fat bird - I have a selection of robin red breast Christmas cards for that very reason).

It's one of my favourites for a hypothetical ds.
